No Man City reunion at Barcelona for Ellie Roebuck as transfer for Lionesses star Lauren Hemp fizzles out

England international goalkeeper <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ellie-roebuck-barcelona-lionesses-goalkeeper-cryptic-update-leaving-man-city/bltd3564ae6e286f28f#csf084cc6847dc5b81" target="_blank">Roebuck is still said to be registering on the recruitment radar</a> in Catalunya, as Barca prepare to part with Sandra Panos and bring in a replacement. There were suggestions that a double raid could be launched on City for two Lionesses stars.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Such a swoop is now considered to be unlikely, with <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-femenina/fichaje-hemp-barca-apaga-renovacion-20240320174150-nt.html " target="_blank">Relevo</a> reporting that a proposed deal for European Championship winner Hemp is sliding off the table. Instead, the 23-year-old forward is expected to agree a new contract in Manchester.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Barca are, as holders of Liga F and Champions League crowns, of obvious appeal to leading lights around the world. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-lauren-hemp-barcelona-manchester-city/bltdcb9e82de46f4eff" target="_blank">Hemp was said to be open to the idea</a> of joining <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lucy-bronze-fears-getting-stuck-barcelona-rondo-lionesses-team-mate-keira-walsh-taken-aback-quality-alexia-putellas-aitana-bonmati/blt08237cfb5d0912ee " target="_blank">international team-mates Lucy Bronze</a> and Keira Walsh in Spain at one stage.

DID YOU KNOW?

That is no longer the case, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lauren-hemp-barcelona-lionesses-man-city-england/bltd80c31f5435c9215" target="_blank">53-cap winger now prepared to stay put</a>. A move could, however, still happen for Roebuck as she has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/khiara-keating-england-teenager-lionesses-manchester-city-sarina-wiegman/blt9c72b8d795c2c7d3" target="_blank">lost her place at City to teenage talent Khiara Keating</a> and would likely jump at the chance to start afresh with the Blaugrana.
